Elementary Schools in Kaleidoscope Charter School

Kaleidoscope Charter School is a public charter school district in Minnesota that operates a single elementary school, Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 310 students. The school has a relatively diverse student population, with over 80% White students and smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is consistently below the state averages in Math, Reading, and Science.

Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School has received a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking 557th out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping to 644th out of 881 schools in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are lower than the state averages, with particular weaknesses in 5th grade Math and overall Science performance. Additionally, over one-third of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the lower academic achievement.

While the school's 5th grade Reading proficiency rate is higher than the state average, the overall academic performance and declining school ranking suggest that Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school's leadership and the Kaleidoscope Charter School district should closely examine instructional practices, curriculum alignment, and targeted interventions to support the diverse student population and address the equity issues that may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
